Enchanted Juvenile Macropus Dominus Skin

kangaroo costume · joey skin

A wearable dead-joey skin that disguises Carl as a kangaroo baby — but forces him to move only by hopping.

Story so far

The Enchanted Juvenile Macropus Dominus Skin is a costume-slot outer garment harvested from a dead joey — in the fight, peeled off the acid-burned upgrade engineer Niels's corpse. Worn over Carl's gear (pushing his boxers and kneepads to the outside and negating their effects), it grants Protection from Seeping Acid, a level 10 Jump skill, and +5 Lotion Application, letting him survive being shoved into Prison Pocket's caustic pouch to plant explosives. Its catch: it is a 12-hour timed item that, kangaroo-style, only lets the wearer move by hopping — Carl faceplants trying to walk.

Sticky, foul-smelling, and faintly alive-feeling, it is the linchpin of his inside-the-pouch demolition of the boss.

Appearance

A stinking, sticky kangaroo-joey hide with a wide floppy head, built-in clawed gloves with padded dog-like palms, worn as a full outer costume.

Role

A disguise costume enabling the acid-pouch demolition of Prison Pocket, at the cost of hop-only movement.

Relationships

Carl — Wears it to infiltrate the boss's acid pouch and detonate satchels inside.
Prison Pocket — The boss whose pouch the disguise lets Carl enter as a fake joey.
